Boardwalk Bust (2005)
“Gold Rush If you’ve never seen a whole crowd of people go crazy, let me tell you—it is an incredible sight.
People on the beach were running in every direction. As soon as they found what they thought was a “lucky spot,” they dropped to their knees and started digging.
Word must have been spreading, too, because more and more people kept coming down from the boardwalk to the beach. Some of them already had shovels or magnifying glasses. Everyone was screaming and shouting.
Can we say “madhouse”?
It was the California gold rush all over again!
“Hey, Joe,” Frank said, nudging me with his elbow. “Check it out.”
He nodded toward a big knot of people. I had to crane my neck to see what was going on.
Looked like everyone was crowding around some guy who was selling metal detectors! This guy had a little stand set up, and he was selling detectors as fast as he could take people’s money.
“That guy is some kind of businessman,” I said.
“Joe,” Frank said, “doesn’t it strike you as a little odd?”
